market analysis

The stock market had a massive bounce at the open on Tuesday, reversed lower, and rebounded again before fading out to close mixed. The Nasdaq rose strongly, despite its intraday gains, while the S&P 500 rose and the Dow Jones declined slightly.

The market was set to rebound, but Tuesday’s move was uninspiring. At best, this was the first day of a stock market rally attempt for the Nasdaq and S&P 500.

If the major indicators continue to advance, investors can look for Follow-up day Starting next week.

There is not much in the way of leadership in the market at the moment.

Energy, fertilizer and other commodities stocks attempted to recover on Tuesday from Monday’s heavy losses, but the gains faded or even turned into losses. Mining and mineral stocks have already collapsed.

A few pharmaceutical companies such as Merck are doing well, while some medical services companies such as ANTM stock are still outstanding. Some wood and construction product companies are trying to establish it, including LPX stocks.

Essential consumer goods, such as food producers and discount retailers, hold up or rise. But will these defensive games be delayed when the new market rally takes hold?

Growth stocks are still in a brutal slump. While investors should still watch shares of Apple and a few giant companies like Microsoft, they are definitely not buying at the moment.

Major indicators could react positively to Wednesday’s inflation report, but it won’t be a game changer for the Federal Reserve. The Fed rate hikes are likely to continue at a rapid pace until a downward trend in inflation occurs over a period of several months. However, a relatively mild inflation report could ease fears that the Fed will not be able to engineer a smooth landing.

What are you doing now

Investors should not be tempted to increase exposure until there is clear evidence of an upward trend in the market.

Just last week, major indexes rose for three consecutive days, with the March 4th Fed meeting encouragingly higher. We know how it ended.

At this point, investors should wait for a follow-up day before making new purchases. Even so, investors should exercise caution, gradually adding exposure as a new market uptrend gains momentum, and quickly pull back if the rally falters.

There may be a few stocks to buy on FTD. Even many stocks with strong RSI are considered highs too far or have been damaged in the charts.
